the clone wars
Feb. 13th, 2012 09:29 pmYou know, I take it back. For a lulzy kids' show about a canonically long, bloody, and ultimate pointless civil war that canonically includes child soldiers, ethically ambiguous soldiers, and genocide (and probably other things that I haven't run across yet), and which has to end in mass murder, treason, and betrayal with the main character turning into an evil, child-killing, murdering traitor, Star Wars: The Clone Wars is actually surprisingly classy. I know! I'm shocked too.
I will add as a disclaimer that I have only actually seen about eight episodes, but other attractions: Anakin and Padme actually have chemistry, one of the mains is a kickass female Jedi, Obi-Wan is more badass than he manages to be in AotC, and the lulz are appropriately lulzy in true Star Wars fashion. I suspect the continuity's a bit off, and I don't quite buy it as being as canon as the Clone Wars comics, but hey, Star Wars EU canon, whatevs.
You can see the first few episodes of S1 starting here. (And yeah, I guess it's kind of complicated, but it's pretty high-quality for YouTube.)
I almost don't want to know what happens to Ahsoka when the Purge happens. Because I don't want her to be murdered! And I don't want her to live to see Anakin go Dark Side! But I don't want the last episode to be her dying in combat, either! And I don't want her to spend the next twenty years or less of her life being hunted down by her former master and her former troops, so basically, THERE IS NO HAPPY ENDING. Man, the trials and tribulations that come from being a PT fan.
(This is for S4, the current season.)
